Has anyone heard of these guys?

I was just wandering if anyone knows anything about these guys.  I have seen them post many cars on eBay and was just curious.

They are in California - so probably not. At least they have videos so you can see how they work before getting a hacked together pile.

A member posted about a bad purchase with them last year, and the seller (doug redwood) also posted. look up the member 'Californiadoug' here to see his defense.

I bought The Scow from these guys, and i would suggest you only buy from them (him actually) if you can see the car in it's 'real' 'unrestored' state, as their 'restos' arent very good. I bought my car 'as was' ( basically a giant hole) and fixed it up myself. I did overpay, and it was a hassle, but at least I knew what I was getting into, and the end result is what I wanted. Ironically, even though he basically flips and psuedo restores Chargers, he doesnt seem to know much about them and the way it goes is one car is actually decent, the next one a turd etc,more luck of the draw. He will use the cheapest possible parts and work to 'restore' them though, as his profit margins look to be pretty small. He doesnt actually do the work himself, he has a network of local driveway mechanic guys do it.

I myself just wanted a factory 4 speed, and real r/t was also a factor, and the fact it was local more or less...so I bought a highly priced turd, but thats ok, I actually preferred that to a 'finished' car, as i wanted to do the work myself.The car also had all the stuff I wanted as far as engine,transmission , rear end etc. I just had to fix it all!

all that being said, unless you can go see a 'californiadoug' car in the flesh, dont buy it.Some of his cars are decent, others are not.

if you look up my posts you can see my car from its original state through to it's now daily driver condition.
